Doctor Provotorova named vitamins that intake can block heart attack detection 13:54

Taking certain vitamins can distort test results, leading to a missed myocardial infarction. Margarita Provotorova, one of the leading consultants in laboratory medicine, told socialbites.ca about this.

“If you are taking any vitamin complex, you should inform your doctor about it. For example, biotin or vitamin B7, a popular supplement for improving the condition of the skin, nails and hair, affects the results of thyroid hormone tests. In addition, suspected acute myocardial infarction may distort the results of the troponin test used for acute coronary syndrome. And this can already be life-threatening, ”explained Provotorova.

As Provotorova points out, the results of the tests can also be affected by improper preparation: for example, the level of triglycerides and glucose should ideally be evaluated in the morning on an empty stomach.
